Well, I suppose, the good news for current affairs watchers of this substack is that I damn near bought the Irish Times, today, to find out what’s not going on in the world at the moment. Furthermore, and promisingly, I very nearly dipped into my Telegram groups to check out what actually is going on in the world around us. But, alas & unfortunately, I took a detour away from news and technology for most of the day and went for a drive down some back roads instead. As luck would have it didn’t I happen upon a rainbow and my technology ban went out the window as I reached for my phone. I caught half the rainbow but nearly crashed the car into the bargain. And as Thomas Sheridan kindly alluded to on my Facebook page when I posted the picture that dying suddenly in this fashion would in all likelihood involve having my death recorded in the Tuam Herald as:

” far-right, unjabbed, gay-man dies suddenly (and not before time) in an outlawed diesel Volkswagen Passat “
